Volunteer

Why Volunteer?
Volunteers derive personal growth and fulfillment as they
contribute their time and skills to meet the learning and
information needs of the public the library serves. Friendship,
education, recognition and genuine satisfaction in a job well
done are among the rewards of volunteering. Volunteers are the
heart of the Fresno County Public Library system. Over 450 volunteers
currently donate their time and talents to provide valuable
assistance to the staff and patrons of the library.

Time CommitmentA variety of assignments are available at the library. These include:

Weekly commitments

Monthly commitments

A specified number of hours (i.e. 50 hours)

One-time special events or assignments

How do I Volunteer?
Call the Volunteer Coordinator to set up an interview. At the interview you will be
asked to fill out a volunteer application. In your application
you'll tell us where you'd like to work and what days and hours
you're available. You'll also describe your talents, skills and
interests so that we may provide you with a volunteer opportunity
that will benefit you and the library.
